Painting & Mixed Media Installation2013
Chess: Moving a piece in an activated process, whereupon values, positions and opportunities change, patterns, lines and shapes are left behind.
Paint: Viscous materials which can also contain color. The paint is applied or removed to materials retrieved from familiar environments coupled with my background as a professional craftsman painter.
Spiderman: Web tightens and the plot thickens. At the end of a wire is a spider who detects vibrations from movements and actions.
Fuckup: Is an old friend through good and bad, not always visible but always present and always outwits me behind my back.
The installation show is made up of objects, paintings, drawings, sculptures, sound, and things that appear by chance. The existing architecture and character of the space functions as the starting point of the work.
